Friday, November 7 Do you, . . . the one teaching someone else, not teach yourself? —Rom. 2:21. A failed marriage may cast doubt on one’s spiritual state. The apostle Paul raised this serious question: “If indeed any man does not know how to preside over his own household, how will he take care of God’s congregation?” (1 Tim. 3:5) In fact, when both mates profess to be Christians and yet their marriage fails, observers may think that such individuals do not really practice what they preach. (Rom. 2:22-24) When baptized marriage mates are planning to separate or to divorce each other on unscriptural grounds, something surely is spiritually wrong in their life. Scriptural principles are apparently not being applied by one partner or perhaps by both partners. If they were truly ‘trusting in Jehovah with all their heart,’ there would be little reason for believing that they could not avoid a failed marriage.—Prov. 3:5, 6. w12 5/15 2:7, wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2014/11/7
